Radiesse’s unique calcium hydroxylapatite composition provides both immediate volumizing effects and long-term collagen stimulation—a dual-action approach not found in traditional hyaluronic acid fillers. This stimulation of your body’s own collagen production creates results that continue to improve over time and typically last longer than many other fillers (12-18 months versus 6-12 months). Additionally, Radiesse has a firmer consistency that makes it ideal for structural support and defined contouring in areas like the cheekbones and jawline.
Radiesse
Volume now. Collagen later.
At EVOLV Plastic Surgery & Medical Aesthetics in Toledo, Radiesse is a biostimulating injectable that does more than simply restore volume. It provides immediate structural support while encouraging your body to produce fresh collagen and elastin over time.
Made with calcium hydroxylapatite, or CaHA, Radiesse can be used to restore lost volume, enhance facial contours, soften select lines and folds, and improve the appearance of aging hands.
The result? Definition and support you can see now, with collagen benefits that continue to develop over time.
Think of it as filler with a long game.
What Makes Radiesse Different
Radiesse isn’t your traditional hyaluronic acid filler.
Made with calcium hydroxylapatite, or CaHA, Radiesse takes a two-part approach. It provides immediate volume and structural support while encouraging your body to produce fresh collagen and elastin over time.
That means you get the benefit of seeing a difference right away, with results that continue to develop as your skin builds more of its own support.
Structure now. Collagen later. That’s the Radiesse difference.
Immediate support. Collagen benefits that build over time.
Radiesse® is made with calcium hydroxylapatite, or CaHA, microspheres suspended in a smooth gel carrier. When injected, the gel provides immediate volume and structural support where it’s placed.
But Radiesse does more than add volume. The CaHA microspheres also act as a biostimulatory scaffold, encouraging your body to produce fresh collagen and elastin as the gel is gradually absorbed.
Over time, your body naturally processes the CaHA particles while the newly produced collagen helps support firmer, smoother-looking skin and improved structure in the treated area.
The result? An immediate difference with benefits that continue to develop over time.
Think structure now, collagen later.
Volume Now. Collagen Later.
Radiesse gives you the best of both worlds. It provides immediate structural support while stimulating your body’s natural production of collagen and elastin over time. So while you’ll see a difference right away, the benefits continue to develop as your skin gets to work.
Made for Structure
Radiesse has a firmer consistency than many traditional hyaluronic acid fillers, making it especially useful when definition and support are the goal. Think cheeks, chin, jawline, and other areas where thoughtful structure can make a big difference.
More Than a Traditional Filler
Because Radiesse is biostimulatory, it can be used in different ways depending on what your skin and facial structure need. Your provider may use it to restore volume, enhance contours, or support firmer, smoother-looking skin.
Beyond the Face
Radiesse isn’t limited to facial rejuvenation. It can also be used in the hands to restore lost volume and improve the appearance of prominent veins and tendons.
Your Anatomy Leads the Plan
Where we place Radiesse, how much we use, and whether it’s even the right product for you depends on your anatomy and goals. Your EVOLV injector will look at your features as a whole before creating your treatment plan.
Structure where you want it. Collagen where you need it. Results designed around you.

What to Expect
Your Radiesse Journey
It starts with a plan, not a syringe.
Before treatment, your EVOLV provider will take a closer look at your facial anatomy, skin quality, volume changes, and overall proportions while talking through what you’d like to improve. From there, we’ll determine where Radiesse® makes sense and create a treatment plan designed around your features.
Radiesse contains lidocaine to help with comfort during injection, and topical numbing may also be used when appropriate. Treatment typically takes around 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the areas being addressed.
You’ll see an immediate difference in volume and structure, with results continuing to develop as Radiesse stimulates new collagen and elastin over time.
Temporary swelling, redness, tenderness, or bruising can happen after treatment, but most patients are able to return to their normal routine relatively quickly. Your provider will give you personalized aftercare instructions before you leave.
Thoughtful placement now. Collagen benefits that keep working.
Radiesse doesn’t stop working when your appointment ends.
You’ll see an immediate difference after treatment, with your results continuing to refine as initial swelling settles. Over the following weeks and months, the CaHA microspheres help stimulate your body’s natural collagen and elastin production, adding another layer of improvement over time.
We’ll typically see you back in about two to three weeks to check your results, see how everything has settled, and determine whether any adjustments to your treatment plan make sense.
The goal? More structure, better support, and a refreshed result that still looks completely like you.
Results and Recovery
Immediate volume. Long-term collagen support.
Radiesse provides visible volume and structure right after treatment, with results continuing to evolve as it stimulates your natural production of collagen and elastin. Depending on the treatment area and individual patient, results can last a year or longer.
Some swelling, redness, tenderness, or bruising at the injection sites is normal and typically improves within several days. Most patients are able to return to their usual routine relatively quickly.
Your EVOLV provider will give you personalized aftercare instructions based on your treatment, including when to return to exercise and other activities.
See the difference now. Let collagen take it from there.
Radiesse is in it for the long game.
While you’ll see added volume and structure right away, the biostimulatory benefits continue as Radiesse encourages your body to produce fresh collagen and elastin. Results gradually refine over time and can last a year or longer, depending on the treatment area and individual patient.
And sometimes, filler is only one piece of the plan. Radiesse can be paired with treatments like neuromodulators, lasers, or medical-grade skincare to address movement, skin tone, texture, and overall skin quality alongside facial structure.
Because the best results usually aren’t about doing more. They’re about choosing the right combination for you.
Safety and Experience Matter
Experience Matters
Radiesse isn’t just another filler, and who’s holding the syringe matters.
At EVOLV, Radiesse treatments are performed by board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Frank Barone or one of our experienced nurse injectors, with an approach rooted in facial anatomy, thoughtful placement, and natural-looking results.
Because Radiesse has unique structural and biostimulatory properties, understanding where to place it, how much to use, and when it’s the right product is especially important. Your provider will evaluate your facial structure, skin quality, and overall proportions before creating your treatment plan.
And if Radiesse isn’t the best option for what you want to achieve? We’ll tell you that, too.
The right product. The right placement. The right plan for your face.
Thoughtful Care, Start to Finish
Good results start well before the injection.
Every Radiesse® treatment at EVOLV begins with a thorough consultation and assessment to make sure the treatment is appropriate for you. From careful product placement to personalized aftercare, your provider will guide you through every step of the process.
We also document your treatment and results over time, giving us a clear picture of what was done and helping guide future recommendations.
Because great injectable results aren’t just about what happens in the treatment room. They’re about having a thoughtful plan from the start.
The EVOLV Approach
Good filler should make sense for your face.
At EVOLV, we look beyond the area being treated and consider your facial structure, proportions, movement, and overall balance before making a recommendation.
Sometimes Radiesse® is exactly what makes sense. Sometimes another injectable or treatment will get you closer to the result you want. Having injectables, advanced skin treatments, lasers, and plastic surgery all under one roof allows us to look at the bigger picture rather than simply reaching for another syringe.
No chasing trends. No one-size-fits-all treatment plans. Just thoughtful aesthetics designed around you.
Because the goal isn’t to look treated. It’s to look like you, really well.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is Radiesse different from other fillers?
Is the Radiesse treatment painful?
Most patients experience minimal discomfort during Radiesse treatment. The product is formulated with lidocaine, a local anesthetic that reduces sensation during injection. We also offer topical numbing cream before treatment for those with sensitivity concerns. Our skilled providers use gentle injection techniques and ultra-fine needles to further minimize discomfort. Most patients describe the sensation as brief pressure or mild pinching that is easily tolerated.
What's the recovery time after Radiesse treatment?
Radiesse requires minimal downtime, allowing most patients to return to normal activities immediately after treatment. You may experience mild swelling, redness or bruising at injection sites, but these effects typically resolve within 2-5 days. We recommend avoiding strenuous exercise, alcohol consumption and excessive heat exposure for 24 hours following treatment to minimize swelling potential. Any visible marks can usually be covered with makeup within a day of treatment.
How long do Radiesse results last?
Radiesse typically provides visible improvement lasting 12-18 months, significantly longer than many traditional fillers. The longevity varies based on treatment area, injection technique and individual factors such as metabolism and lifestyle. The collagen-stimulating effects create a progressive enhancement that continues well beyond the initial treatment. Many patients maintain optimal results with maintenance treatments every 12-15 months.
Am I a good candidate for Radiesse?
Ideal candidates for Radiesse are healthy adults seeking correction of moderate to severe facial wrinkles, volume loss or hand rejuvenation. Radiesse works particularly well for those wanting structural support, defined contours, and volumizing effects. It’s excellent for cheek enhancement, jawline definition and hand rejuvenation. Those with severe allergies, bleeding disorders or hypersensitivity to Radiesse components may not be suitable candidates. During your consultation, we’ll thoroughly evaluate your medical history and aesthetic goals to determine if Radiesse is right for you.
Can Radiesse be combined with other treatments?
Absolutely! Many patients combine Radiesse with complementary therapies for comprehensive rejuvenation. Popular combinations include neuromodulators like Xeomin® for dynamic wrinkles, lighter hyaluronic acid fillers for superficial lines or lip enhancement, laser treatments for skin texture and tone improvement, and professional skincare for ongoing maintenance. We can develop a multi-faceted treatment plan addressing various aspects of facial aging for harmonious, natural-looking results.
